Whose idea was it to have the tv commentator right next to the Radio Alty commentator? It's like having two people talking to you at the same time, terrible to listen to.

Great performance!  The 2 in a minute killed it.   My first venture onto National League TV here in the USA.  Picked a great local derby win.  Team look really good.  CCC is a joy to watch.  We looked like we could score every time we went forward.   Negatives……the pitch looks terrible 😞

The pitch is as bad as it will get. I believe we now have two weeks before the next home game. Surely the weather will dry up, a bit of spring sunshine and a drying breeze will help the ground crew.

Absolutely delighted with today's performance and result.

The pitch might look bad but it seems to play OK and as long as it doesn't damage our brand of football, that's good enough for me. Hopefully things will only get better from here.

As for the performance, well it certainly didn't look like it would play out that way after the first ten minutes when they were first to every ball and absolutely dominating - but after that it was completely one way traffic and we were just brutually clinical compared to them.

Big game next week, a point will keep us on track.

A really good team performance once we weathered the early storm. I really must single out George Wilson, who looked outstanding during his late cameo.

For all of us Alty curmudgeons who had harboured a grudge after the great re-election fiasco of 1980, that was a long-awaited and extremely gratifying performance and result.

I thought that Rochdale started well and looked OK overall, albeit without a great deal of invention or punch up front. Gilmour in midfield always impresses me.

We defended with composure throughout and were devastatingly clinical in the second half.

I hadn't realised that when you purchased an Altrincham FC beach towel, you would actually get the opportunity to use it on a day out on the sand at the J Davidson Stadium.;D

Another excellent result, congrats to Parky Sorvs and the lads. Rochdale put a lot of energy into closing down for the first 10-15 mins or so but after that we pretty much controlled the rest of the first half. Eddie Jones probably deserved man of match and Matt Gould again seemed faultless in goal. Will need to see the highlights again but it looked like Rochdale created a few chances but the biggest difference in the 2 sides was probably the finishing. Yes the pitch had sand on it in 2 big strips, but not much choice really given all the rain there's been and credit to the ground staff, a few of us were expecting the pitch to be a lot worse tbh.

I'm starting to wonder how this season is going to end. We're looking stronger every game.

Fantastic day and win.

Gould doing really well. We know our best 11 when Ross returns.

Up the Alty.

I'm starting to wonder how this season is going to end. We're looking stronger every game.

I can't let myself think about it too much!
The defence has tightened up considerably, we're a threat all over the place up front and the team is very settled.
Not letting in the late sickeners is a bonus.
I'm trying to not get too excited but, after 59 years of all kinds of emotions, this might just be the year I never dared hope for comes knocking.
Thanks for all the happy times, Alty, let's hope this great team and club can fulfil not just their dreams but ours too.
Come on you Supers 👍 🇦🇹 🏆 🥇 🇦🇹
